If the theory is you are going to save the first floor, just what are you saving:
old wiring
rodent infested insulation
old windows
the nice avocado plumbing fixtures
antique kitchen
old siding
flooring
Oh, you are saving the framing and how much a square foot will you have into it?
Might work out for you if you are willing to invest a ton of sweat equity, I'd rather do a new one than a total gut renovation.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
